I'm so glad that exercising has been such a healing and life-giving activity for you. It is definitely important to take good care of our bodies as they do so much for us and our little ones.

I know I would love it! <br /><br />I have a baby who is 4 months old (and two older boys), and I'm just now getting into the routine of exercise. I can tell the days I exercise I am much happier, more patient, and a better mom.

I have struggled to get back into a groove with exercise and my success with that has been spotty. I deal with the challenges of staying true to the attachment parenting principles while also working part-time and going to school part-time. It feels like there is no time or energy left for exercise, but you have inspired me to make time for it in my busy schedule! :)Joellahttp://fineandfair.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521831559300936298.post-70687849721951179362011-02-09T15:37:01.226-06:002011-02-09T15:37:01.226-06:00absolutely brilliant!!

Even so, I have such a hard time making the time to do it...uuggg...one thing I was able to start doing was to go to a yoga class on my own. Which was amazing because I got alone time, replenished my soul, plus a great workout. But I do so love exercising with the kiddos too...playgrounds, walks swimming, skating, we try to do a bit of it all :-) Love the pics too!!!Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724365531064024636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521831559300936298.post-64392112300714961302011-02-08T14:33:26.017-06:002011-02-08T14:33:26.017-06:00That all sounds fun!

It has made a big difference in my mood and sleeping better at night. I can't wait until the summer because this year my daughter is old enough to run around outside! That will be more motivating for the both of us to spend time outside. It's important for mothers to take care of themselves and stay fit. You're a great example!<br />P.S.

Not abandoning that part, but integrating the two. I love the inspiration your post is giving me to keep active now during this current pregnancy and to figure out a way to get back into the swing of things afterward!Lauren Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07500733577920040395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521831559300936298.post-31045356741025516572011-02-08T02:53:26.386-06:002011-02-08T02:53:26.386-06:00Your exercise class sounds SO fun!!

Tom and I very recently started a consistent exercise program, and I am loving it - I should have done it earlier. Thank you for motivating mamas to take care of themselves!Dionna @ Code Name: Mamahttp://codenamemama.comnoreply@blogger.com
